Warhammer: Vermintide 2 Dev Tracker

Much appreciated. Thank you!

@Tram, I noticed your post on Reddit also, in which you mention being able to see 4 active games. As you were able to see other games, this to me would indicate you are on Modded realm perhaps, opposed to Official realm (chosen from your launcher options).

If you were on an outdated game version you would be unable to view any active games.

Hope this helps!

@Tram, can you please try restarting Steam and see if the update is available for you?

Please ensure you have automatic updates enabled for Vermintide 2:

1. Locate Vermintide 2 in your Steam Library
2. Right-click and select ‘Properties’
3. Go to ‘Updates’
4. Ensure ‘Automatic Updates’ is set as ‘Always keep this game updated’

Please let me know how you get on.

@Tram, I’ve merged your other post here, as I believe they are likely related. If you’re on an old version then you wouldn’t be able to matchmake correctly.

@Tram, I’ve checked and confirmed that we’re all updated to 5.1.4 on our side for the main and temporary launchers.

Could you please provide some more details of the issue?

Hi @Tram,

Is it possible that you play on the launcher workaround? If so, this potentially may not have been updated yet. I’ll query this internally.

Thanks for the update!

Interesting to learn that things appeared to work fine after the update, but then went sideways after introducing the mods.

As for the Untrusted system file error, if this persists please try the solutions for this here:

It’s possible that this issue could be mod-related. Anyone who has encountered this issue -

• Are you using any mods?
• If so, which mods are you using?
• Please try disabling your mods. Does the issue persist after?

Also, any host console logs that can please be provided would still be very useful. Thanks!

We are aware of a current issue causing enemy hordes/waves to not spawn correctly during levels - most commonly during end of level events.

UPDATE 3:

We’re investigating the issue of enemies refusing to spawn, but have unable to reproduce it due to its inconsistency. If it happens again, please make a bug report and include the console log of the session where it happened (If you were hosting the game, the report and console log will be specially valuable!)

Thanks @MakingAccountsIsFun

Can you please try the following -

1. Go to the Launcher folder in the Vermintide 2 directory
   \SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Warhammer Vermintide 2\launcher
2. Create a text file named steam_appid.txt with 552500 inside
3. Right-click on launcher.exe and select ‘Properties’
4. In ‘Compatability’, disable the ‘Run as Administrator’ checkbox and select OK
5. Try launching Vermintide 2

Please let me know how this goes.

Hi @PonPon,

Thanks for the report!

We’re currently investigating this issue. It would be extremely helpful if you can provide your console log(s) from a session this has occurred. Ideally, we’re needing to see logs of this happening when you are the host.

Hi all,

Hi both,

Hm, I’ve also noticed the following error in your console log -

You need to have the Steam Client running to play the game.

I also recommend to try the following -

• Ensure you have the latest Steam client updates installed
• Try running Steam and Vermintide 2 as Administrator

1. Right-click your Steam App icon on your desktop and select ‘Open file location’
2. Right-click steam.exe and select ‘Properties’
3. Select ‘Compatability’
4. Enable the ‘Run this program as an administrator’ option and select ‘OK’
5. In your Steam library, right-click on Vermintide 2 and select Manage > ‘Browse local files’
6. In the Vermintide 2 directory, go to the ‘binaries’ folder
7. Right-click vermintide2.exe and select ‘Properties’
8. Select ‘Compatability’
9. Enable the ‘Run this program as an administrator’ option and select ‘OK’
10. Try launching Verm...

Sorry for the delayed reply!

As you can launch in Modded realm this indicates the issue is Easy Anti-Cheat related.

Please try the following -

Ensure appropriate Anti-Virus and Firewall exceptions are in place for Vermintide 2 and Easy Anti-Cheat. You’ll need to add the following exceptions:

• vermintide2.exe in \Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Warhammer Vermintide 2\binaries
• vermintide2_dx12.exe in \Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Warhammer Vermintide 2\binaries_dx12
• EasyAntiCheat.exe in \Program Files (x86)\EasyAntiCheat

Perform a ‘Selective Startup’, which can help to determine if a background application is the culprit:

1. Press the Windows key
2. Type ‘msconfig’ and select ‘System Configuration’
3. On the ‘General’ tab, select ‘Selective Startup’
4. Deselect ‘Load startup...

That’s quite unusual.

So, by subscribing and unsubscibing to mods you’re finding you’re then unable to launch correctly in Official realm on subsequent launches? Hmm.

It’s a shot in the dark, but please also try the following -

Ensure appropriate Anti-Virus and Firewall exceptions are in place for Vermintide 2 and Easy Anti-Cheat. You’ll need to add the following exceptions:

• vermintide2.exe in \Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Warhammer Vermintide 2\binaries
• vermintide2_dx12.exe in \Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Warhammer Vermintide 2\binaries_dx12
• EasyAntiCheat.exe in \Program Files (x86)\EasyAntiCheat

Try a clean re-installation of Vermintide 2. Please see:

No worries! If possible, can you send me the log through Discord? (Add lev_j)

Hi @Sulshim,

We’ll check this out.

Could you please also provide your console log from the session this issue occurred?

Thank you @Valorean! I’ve passed this is on internally and I’ll be back in touch again when I have any update.
